Firefly FFTH Electric Guitar Review | Gear Report

gear-report.com

Firefly's FFTH offers a surprisingly solid build and aesthetic for a budget guitar, giving players the Thinline Telecaster vibe without the hefty price tag. The fit and finish are commendable, with a lightweight body and a neck profile that suits larger hands. However, the guitar isn’t without flaws: a poorly finished nut and some lackluster details, like the f-hole’s inner edges, detract from its overall polish. While the single-coil pickups deliver decent sound, the absence of locking tuners leaves room for improvement. Overall, the FFTH stands as a viable option for budget-conscious musicians, though buyers should be prepared for a bit of a setup journey.

For the Price it's Hard to Beat

I would give it 5 starts, but you can never find the damn things in stock, so rather'n get 'em for the $130 MSRP, you end up paying $200+ for 'em, plus a rather silly amount of shipping. They come in all manner of colours (I have the Catalina Blue model, like in the stock photo), from Green, to Black, Salmon Pink (they call it orange), even a natural sunburst. They're beautiful to look at. But looks aren't everything.

The necks on these things are where they really shine. They play like a dream (with a proper setup job--you do have to do a little work out of the box--but let's be fair--outside of Fender, Gibson, and Ibanez, most guitars you buy require at least a little fine tuning right out of the box). The fretwork is really well polished, there's no burs, they just feel really great under your fingers. The neck shape is about perfect for a Fender player like me. It's a gloss finished neck and maple fingerboard, so it's really fast to move around on.

Pickups are about what you'd expect to find on a midrange instrument (think Mexican Fenders, Epiphones, $300-500 Ibanez). They sound really really nice. Not too hot, nice warm vintage tone. Push 'em through a tube amp with a bit of saturation, and you're going to be able to get some really nice sounds. Personally, I think this guitar should be paired with an Orange Tube Amp, but that's just my preference for any Telecaster style guitar.

In summation, you could do a whole hell of a lot worse for the money. This is an absolute must have for any fan of a Telecaster, and an absolute no brainer for any fan of inexpensive guitars!
